Yesterday, we kicked off the Studio AE 2nd anniversary party with some yummy goodness! Here's a woohoo for everyone who left a comment about their favorite treats. I really enjoyed reading your comments last night. I have to admit - you had me drooling.

Hmmmm... what should we do today to celebrate? I guess we could move onto... GIFTS! Today, everyone has a shot at receiving a present.

If you are already a Studio AE member, we are sending you two presents in your September shipment. The first gift that you will receive is a package of our new Story Cards. I can't tell you which color or which Story Card style you will be getting. But I can tell you that you will be getting an entire package of 24 cards featuring Ali’s handwriting and favorite fonts. Our creative team members have been using the Story Cards on pocket-style pages, traditional layouts, and on handmade cards. You can see lots of project ideas in the gallery on our website and on our Pinterest boards.

Your bonus gift is a little stamp set featuring Ali’s handwriting. The bonus stamp set includes some words and phrases that complement the Perspectives stamp set which you may already own or have seen on our website. The images in the bonus stamp set are smaller and will fit into the space on the back of the Story Cards. So start watching for your September Studio AE shipment because your presents are on their way to you!

Have you been thinking about joining Studio AE but just haven't quite been ready? Well this might be the month to join. Everyone who joins before September 30 will receive a pack of Story Cards. Plus while we still have them, we'll send the little bonus stamp set too.

We didn't want those of you who aren't into joining to be left out of this party. So we're leaving comments open on yesterday's blog post. We'll be choosing one lucky person from all the comments we receive on that blog post to win the prize package of 12 packs of Story Cards. You have until midnight PST Wednesday to tell us about your favorite sweet treat and be entered to win. And don't forget to comment on the blogs of our Studio AE team members for a chance to win one of the two stamp sets up for grabs. Blog Hop winners will be announced on the 13th.

So far I'm liking this party but we've got three more days of celebrating to do. Tomorrow, someone will win a guest spot on our creative team plus a gift certificate. And we have more fun things planned for the rest of the week, too. This party is just getting started!

WOW!!!! I am so excited, and so appreciative of your generousity! Love the story cards (I bought one already) plus the STAMP??? I have no words! I am so happy I joined last month, who would have known? what perfect timing! Thanks SO much!

Trust me, I'd love to be getting the Studio AE stamps each month!! They are excellent and would be such a great addition to my other TT stamps. But I guess I'll have to wait till "my" economy picks up some! In the meantime I'll enjoy seeing all of the wonderful projects the DT comes up! Thanks for the inspiration (an fun) this week! (and all through the year!)
